Are the sandpippers gathering at Mary's Point .. we went two years ago but they had already left... Stopped at Cape Enrage too.. those beaches are covered with fossils.. I see why the Cape got its name cause everytime we were there we practically were blown off the cliffs... Gorgeous though... How was the raspberry picking.. they are pretty plentiful out here this year... take care<br /><br />Thank you so much Simply Blue... The vines on the porch are Virginia Creeper.. the first couple years after it was planted, it just sat there and looked like it was doing nothing... then after it had its roots established they took off like crazy.. I train them around the posts by wrapping them around each other and then they grab on with their little tendrils.<br /><br /> Hi Marie, Lovely to hear from you... What is your newest beadwork creation? Does your daughter have any plans now that school is completed? We can't wait to start using the space.. but it keeps going on and on...<br /> All the best...Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-6487803879902859062010-08-07T14:47:45.195-03:002010-08-07T14:47:45.195-03:00Oh Gwen ... what awesome gardens and what a joy it...Oh Gwen ... what awesome gardens and what a joy it must be to be able to walk through them on such a morning!
